Manan Sharma

I genuinely enjoy the process of talking to people, understanding what they need, and helping them say yes to something that actually benefits them. Whether it's walking up to a stranger with a pitch or following up after a tough objection, I find the challenge exciting rather than intimidating. I'm a final-year AIML student who spent months doing real, on-the-ground sales work — approaching local businesses, building trust from scratch, and closing deals without any leads handed to me.

I'm now looking to channel that experience into a gym membership sales role where I can combine my people skills with a genuine love for fitness culture.

Self-initiated | Cold Walk-In Sales | Delhi NCR

• Walked into local businesses cold — no warm leads, no referrals — introduced myself, built rapport quickly, and pitched a solution within minutes of meeting a prospect for the first time.
• Listened first, pitched second: identified what was actually bothering each business owner (low footfall, no digital presence) before positioning a solution, making every pitch feel relevant rather than generic.
• Handled "not interested," "too expensive," and "I'll think about it" regularly — learned to stay calm, reframe value, and keep the conversation going without being pushy.
• Followed up consistently across multiple touchpoints until prospects converted — understanding that most deals don't close on the first visit.
• Maintained relationships after the sale, checking in and identifying upsell opportunities — because keeping a client happy is as important as winning them.
• Set personal weekly targets and tracked my own conversion rate, pushing myself to improve pitch-to-close ratios over time.
